 Golf Tournament - Woman at Risk
In addition to WAR, Canon sponsors The American Cancer Society's "Making Strides Walk for Breast Cancer," held every fall at Jones Beach on Long Island. Canon also supports a number of national programs such as Canon4Kids. Canon4Kids was created in collaboration with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to help raise public awareness about the growing issue of child abduction, and stress the need for parents to have updated photographs of their children, should pictures be needed to assist authorities in a search for their missing child.
About Women At Risk
Women at Risk (WAR) is a breast cancer program based at New York-Presbyterian / Columbia University Medical Center. WAR's mission is to enhance the lives of women at high risk for and with breast cancer through research, education and support. WAR was founded in 1991 by a grass-roots partnership of physicians and patient/volunteers.
About Fenway Golf Club
Fenway’s stature as one of the pre-eminent golf clubs in Westchester results from the time tested greatness of its golf course and the rich history of its professionals. The course was designed in 1924 by A.W. Tillinghast, one of America’s greatest architects. Often dubbed "Little Winged Foot", Fenway’s severely sloping greens, deep traps and deceptively difficult landing areas, have proven time and time again that this golf course need be compared to no other and stands on its own as a premier test of golf excellence.
Canon - Philosophy of Kyosei
"This philosophy extends to programs and causes, such as Women at Risk, that support the well being of our employees and the communities that we live and work in. We are happy to be working with this tremendous organization again this year."
